Yeah, I hear you. My left one gets beat up pretty bad too from an endurance contest.

It's impossible to reliably get word about a schedule change out to 53 drivers this close to an event. We'll just stick with the published schedule. What's a half-hour among friends?

Geez, 5 runs would probably put us there well after dark!
No, Doug... you'll just have to find your way past the line of shame in just 4 runs.

Oh I forgot you replaced both your left and right ones. Should be interesting. If I cannot do it in four it would make me a ............loser.

Hmmmmm, sounds like the morning crew should get 5 runs due to lack of attendance

In case no one else noticed? This is a Corvette friendly course. OR anyone else who can do a tighty whitey close to the cone drive? NO GATES.
Loren has a competitive side too. If I cannot beat the Mirage I will at least see the Mirage coming.

Nobody sees the Mirage coming. It's like the Spanish Inquisition.

It's the first day of daylight savings... We don't have to worry about it getting dark anymore. 5 runs!

Hmmm... you're right, the sun sets an hour later. I had it backwards. But, I still don't think we're gonna roll the dice and try to do 5 runs when the event has 11 first-timers, 11 second-timers and 7 third-timers. That's a LOT of new folks.
Hey, I have an idea. Have y'all heard of a FAST Classic event? We do lots of runs at those events!

Daylight savings time is stupid. H8 it, H8 it, H8 it!

You wouldn't hate it if we got five runs through

It has been said that "if you can't do it in 3 runs, what's the point?"

Not necessarily. Rain chances have just spread out and reduced for our particular location. And forecasts are worthless outside of 48 hours anyhow.
Truth.

The point here is fun. Most of us do autocross for fun, more runs is more fun.

More runs is more fun when you're the driver. More runs is not necessarily more fun when you're the course working standing in 1000-degree heat or rain. Especially if you're slated to drive in the next group.
